The body of Leanne Hecht Bearden, a Colorado woman who went missing in south Texas nearly a month ago, was found behind a home on Thursday afternoon, according to Donna O’Conner, Garden Ridge (Texas) police chief.

Police received a report Thursday from a Comal County resident who found the 33-year-old’s body in a wooded area near his home, according to a news release from Garden Ridge police.

Bearden was last seen about 5:20 p.m. on Jan. 17 when she went out for a run while staying in a relative’s home in suburban San Antonio. The site where the body was found is about one mile away.

O’Conner told local media the deceased woman was wearing a ring that appeared identical to that of Bearden’s.

O’Conner said foul play will not be ruled out until an autopsy is performed, according to the release.

It is unclear what, if any, trauma was done to the body.

After Bearden went missing, police said on their website that while they were “very concerned” for her welfare, there was no indication that a crime had occurred.

Her family organized a campaign on social media to raise awareness of her disappearance and had offered a reward for information.

Bearden and her husband, Josh, from the Denver area, had spent the last 22 months traveling the world. She extensively documented their travels in a blog.

Bearden’s family issued this statement on Thursday evening:

“Our family is understandably devastated by the news of the recovery of the remains of our beloved Leanne. We wish to thank the myriad of people who helped us search for Leanne, and who helped support us throughout this entire nightmare. We also wish to thank the members of the media who helped us tell our story. We thank the Garden Ridge Police Department and other agencies who provided such caring service to us. We especially thank the Heidi Search Center for their wonderful help and support. Although this is not the outcome we had hoped for, we draw comfort and strength from the outpouring of prayers, actions and good wishes from all — including over 20,000 Facebook friends. We ask for your continued prayers and good wishes for our family. Leanne was a lovely and remarkable young woman and we will all miss her greatly.”
